How big of a hole will a dime size meteorite make if it hit earth?
a quarter size
Is a meteoroid smaller than a meteorite?
A meteorite by definition has reached the ground. Mist meteoroids burn up in the Earths atmosphere. Any meteorite would have been bigger as a meteoroid as the outer coating would have been burnt off during entry.
What is in asteroid called when it hits the earth?
An asteroid is space debris made up of rock and metal and can range drastically in size. When an asteroid makes a collision course for Earth, it is called a meteor. A meteor that manages to hit the Earth is called a meteorite.
What is bigger a meteorite or a meteor?
Usually, a comet.Meteors are usually the dust trails of comets or bigger meteorites/asteroids that burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. They are about the size of grains of sand.
What Size of a crater would be created if a 4 by 4 meteorite hit?
depends on how much impact it has
How big of a hole will a dime size meteorite make if it hit earth?
a quarter size
If a giant meteorite crashed into earth what would be the impact on human life?
Depending on the size of the meteorite, there may be no humans left to impact.
The probability of randomly hitting a bullseye on a dartboard with radius 12 inches depends on the size of the bullseye Thus the probability is a function of the size If this function is called PS?
Ps=4-.1/144
Would the atmosphere of Earth protect us from a meteorite?
no, it is not strong enough to hold back a meteorite. It protects us from the suns deadly rays though. The atmosphere also gives us oxygen to breath, but if a meteorite the size of the earth came crashing down on us, then we would all be dead and the Earth would be destroyed.
What happen if you see a shooting star?
Hi, it is not at all a star. It is meteor. This means a big massive material coming into the atmosphere due to the gravitational pull by the earth. Due to the friction in the air, heat is produced and the object gets burnt. This light looks like shooting. If all the object gets totally burnt and nothing would hit the earth. If suppose some residual thing is there that would hit the earth. This hitting one is known as meteorite. If the size of the meteorite is too large then some large pit would be created on the surface of the earth. Actually Siberian valley is only due to the hit of such large meteorite.
If the total area of a dartboard is 20000 mm and the area of the bull's is 800 mm what is the probability of getting a bull's?
First of all an area is a measure in 2-dimensional space and so cannot be measured in mm which is a 1-dimensional measure. So the question is improper. However, assuming that you meant square mm, then the answer depends on the assumptions that you make.First, you need, to assume that the player hits the board! You are looking for the conditional probability: the probability of hitting the bull conditional on hitting the board.You could then assume that the player throws the dart in such a way that the probability of hitting a particular area is proportional to the size of that area, then the probability of hitting the bull is 0.04 or 4%.You could instead assume that the player aims for the bull but has little control over how close the dart gets so that any distance from the centre is equally likely. Then the probability of hitting the bull is 0.2 or 20%.

What happens if a asteroid hits your atmosphere would it become a meteorite?
Yes. An asteroid that enters Earth's atmosphere is known as a meteorite. If the object is small in size it will simply burn up in the Earth's upper atmosphere. If the object is significantly larger, it has a possibility of impacting the ground or ocean depending on its mass and composition.
Can a meteorite of some size on impact give off an electrical charge enough to effect a cars electrical system at 1000 feet away?
if a meteorite bigger then a basketball hit earth debris would flty 1000 feet away
Can astrounuts walk on a Meteorite?
You don't have to be an astronaut to walk on a meteorite. A meteorite is a piece of rock or metal from space that has fallen to Earth, so anyone who can walk could potentially walk or step on a meteorite. Such a piece of rock or metal in space is called a meteoroid or asteroid depending on the size. Even the largest asteroids have much weaker gravity than Earth does, so walking would be difficult if not impossible as a single step could launch you at least several feet off the ground.
What is the biggest meteoroid?
The vast majority of meteors don't make it to the ground to BECOME meteorites; they become many tons of the dust in the air each day. Of the ones that do survive to hit the ground, most of the ones that are found are between the size of a pea to the size of an orange. Very rarely, bigger ones are found.
